5.2.1 Configuration parameterConfiguration parameter specifies the operation mode of an application function or ofthe protection relay. These are basic configurations that are normally configured onlyonce and then not modified again. The protection relay configures itself during start-up according to the given configuration parameter values.5.2.2 Setting parameterSetting parameter (short form: “setting”) is a parameter that can be changed in theprotection relay at runtime.5.2.3 Setting groupNearly all settings used by the protection relay for protection application functions areorganized into a group of settings. Up to six setting groups can be configured withdifferent values.The protection relay supports the selection of a setting group at runtime.5.2.4 Parameter import and exportThe parameter export and import function can be utilized, for example, when theprotection relay's parameters are set using the WHMI instead of PCM600. The relaysettings engineered with PCM600 can be exported to XRIO files and imported to theWHMI. The WHMI can be used to write the settings to the protection relays. TheWHMI can also be used to read the relay setting parameters and to export those to files,which can be used by PCM600.The exporting and importing of settings is sensitive to the protectionrelay's content. Settings are exported and imported for one protectionrelay at a time. The export files of a specific protection relay can beexchanged between PCM600, WHMI and the actual physical IED. Toavoid errors and to efficiently manage the exporting and importing ofsettings, for example, in a substation with several protection relays,ensure that the names of the export files identify the protection relayto which the file should be imported.The parameter import/export functionality is available via the File menu when theParameter Setting tool is open.Section 5 1MRS757810 CProtection and control engineering76 REC615 and RER615Engineering Manual
